"I found Andrews style of training exceptional, his mixture of humour, real life anecdotes and unconventional methods brought the training and content to life. The practical exercises that formed part of the day allowed us to embedded the knowledge and skills learnt and I have used them since. I would recommend that people should give Andrew a try!" Martin Sadler

Andrew is one of the few people that I would recommend my own clients to." Sue Jenkinson"I like Andrew's controversial style and his different take on things. It is refreshing. He knows his subject and has a genuine interest in it." Ro Gorell - Ascent2Change Ltd

"Andy has an informal and accessible training style with a lively sense of humour which makes learning easy and fun. Workshop handouts are good. I have found sessions well paced with a good mix of information, demonstration and practice. Group sizes mean that sessions are interactive, which I enjoy. Andy's unusual and refreshing brand of charisma and honesty combined with an in depth knowledge of his subject is an effective combination in a training setting."
"Never fails to amaze, impress and do exactly what he sets out to. Highly recommended." Gerald Woodgate
"I have listened, learned, laughed and learned some more with Andrew's presentations. With his addition of medical biofeedback and sensory anecdotes he had the group off their seats and delving deeper ! I look forward to working alongside again." Luciana Haill - IBVA UK

“Most books about therapy could just as well be prescribed as sleeping pills. And they often sit unread by the side of therapists’ beds, after they have plowed through the first jargon-laden chapter or two. Not this book!
Andy Austin’s Rainbow Machine will have you laughing, gasping in horror and awe, and wishing like hell that you lived close enough to him to get an appointment. He is the British Milton Erickson.”

Austin, offers fascinating glimpses into the personal change work of a top NLP practitioner and registered nurse, in settings from mental hospitals, emergency rooms, and neurosurgery departments, to individual hypnosis and psychotherapy. Rollicking, creative, lively, funny, outrageous, touching, profound. A “must read” romp for anyone interested in therapy or personal change."
